In the page located at http://www.asciitable.com/ you should see a grid of check
boxes. This is a javascript game that is meant to test your mouse skills. Upon
going to the webpage if one is to press tab in order to tab past the 'Stop'
button of the java game, firefox starts chewing up cpu cycles and eventually
crashed with:
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 451:  2598 Segmentation fault    
 "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
Happens without fail.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go To http://www.asciitable.com/
2. Upon the page fully loading, start pressing tab.
3. You will begin tabbing through the top menu, then the right handed side bar.
4. You will see the javascript game on the right side too, a lot of check boxes,
keep tabbing until you your tab select is on the 'Stop' button, next to the
'Start' button.
5. Once on the 'Stop' button, tab once more as if to go beyond it. Firefox will
start consuming cycles and eventually crash with the seg fault given in the details.

Actual Results:  
Crash:
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 451:  2598 Segmentation fault    
 "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Expected Results:  
Not crash =)

/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 451:  2598 Segmentation fault    
 "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

seems to be located in the run-mozilla.sh but i'm sure thats obvious from the
error message.

I have just finished installing that latest nightly build of FireFox. The error
is  no longer present in the nightly builds. Sorry for the blunder, should have
gotten a late version before submitting.
